Catastrophic Common Language Runtime Error

[dean]

I get the following information when trying to access the VaultService.asmx page on the server running Vault Server v3.1.2.

I've reloaded .Net v1.1 with Service Pack 1. And, I've reloaded Vault Server v3.1.2.

The event that started giving us errors was when our IT person updated windows 2000 with the latest high priority updates from Microsoft.

Does anyone have a clue on how to fix this problem?

It seems I have found the problem. And fixed it.

Our IT person installed all of the latest high priority security related updates through Windows Update. One of these security updates is from Bulletin MS05-051, or Knowledge Base Article 902400. There is another Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 909444 which states, "Systems that have been modified to non default Access Control List settings on the registration folder in the Windows directory may experience unexpected behavior."

Before installing the security update from MS05-051, the %windir%\registration directory grants read access to the Everyone group. After installing this security update, the Everyone group is removed. In order to fix the problem, I had to add the Everyone group back into the Security properties for that directory, and then grant read access to the Everyone group. One final operation required was to restart web services. If you are on a domain server, the required access to this directory for the Everyone group is slightly different than for a non-domain server. Please read the Knowledge Base Article 909444 for more information.

Everything is working again. Thanks to anyone that may be frantically trying to help me. You can stop now.

Thanks for posting back. We've been scratching our heads so far on this one, and I'm glad you got it resolved.
